“[E]ach year, as our primary means of sewage disposal, millions of tons of toxic sewage sludge, labeled as ‘biosolids,’ are spread as agricultural fertilizer across our nation’s farmland, where rural Americans call home. I know this because my family lived it, and it made us very sick. We had to leave our home to save our health. The unthinkable illnesses my family suffered motivated me to seek independent facts. After all, we had authorities at every level telling us that this practice was safe, but our experience told us otherwise. What we uncovered in our testing and research — including the statistically significant increased relative risk of disease in a community where sludge is used on farmland — left us no option but to take action.” (03/13/26)
